WATER SYSTEM IN

BUILDING
 HYDRO-PNEUMATIC SYSTEM
Hydropneumatic system consists of 2 to 6 High
pressure multistage centrifugal pumpsets, Suction
and Delivery manifolds with Valves, Base frame
and suitable control panel.
 A pressure pump and a pressure tank are combined to
make the hydropneumatic system. A rubber bladder
enclosed by compressed air makes up the pressure tank.
Most pneumatic systems require a continuous supply of
compressed air, which is provided by air compressors. The
compressor draws air from the atmosphere and stores it in
a receiver, which is a high-pressure tank. After the air has
been compressed, it will be sent to the system by a series of
pipelines and valves, which will be controlled by a piston.
 Pressurized air is employed since water is a non-
compressible fluid. Water from this pressure tank is used
when you open a tap or a shower knob. The pressure in the
tank decreases when the water is used up. When the
pressure switch detects a drop in pressure, the pump is
activated. The pump turns off after the preset pressure is
reached. This is done to limit the number of times the
pumps are switched on and off. The pump’s life is extended
as a result.
 Applications of hydro-pneumatic system
 In a housing project, clear water pressure is
increased in high-rise apartments, high-rise
commercial buildings, and row houses.
 In hostels and hospitals, there is a pressured
water supply.
 Golf courses, sports fields, and huge farms all
benefit from sprinkler irrigation.
 SWIMMING POOL
 The primary purpose of swimming pool plumbing is
to circulate water through the pool’s filtration
system, which removes debris, bacteria, and other
contaminants from the water. The plumbing system
is comprised of several interconnected components
that work together to move the water through the
system and back into the pool.
 The first element in a swimming pool plumbing
system is the skimmer, which is located at the top of
the pool and is responsible for removing debris from
the water’s surface. The skimmer is connected to
the pool’s suction line, which draws water from the
pool and sends it to the pump.
 The pump is the heart of the plumbing system, as it
creates the pressure needed to circulate water through
the filtration system. The pump draws water from the
pool through the skimmer and suction line, then pushes
it through the filter, which removes debris and
contaminants. The filtered water then returns to the
pool through the return line, which is connected to one
or more outlets located at the bottom of the pool.
 The return line is also responsible for creating water
circulation in the pool, which helps distribute chemicals
and heat evenly throughout the pool. To achieve proper
circulation, the return line should be placed opposite
the skimmer, so that the water flows in a circular
pattern.
 The plumbing system also includes several valves
that allow the operator to control the flow of water
through the system. The main valve, also known as
the gate valve, is located before the pump and
allows the operator to shut off the water supply to
the pump when needed. Other valves, such as the
check valve and the pressure relief valve, help
regulate water flow and prevent damage to the
pump and other components.
 Finally, the plumbing system includes a drain,
which is located at the lowest point in the pool and
is responsible for removing excess water. The drain
is connected to the waste line, which carries water
out of the pool and into the sewer system.
